How much do elevator constructors earn on prevailing wage jobs in Connecticut?
Every row below is one wage determination line: a elevator constructor classification, in one county, for one construction type, under one funding source. The rate that applies to your project is the row whose county, construction type and funding source all match it — a Highway rate does not apply to a Building project in the same county, and a state determination does not substitute for a federal one.
What does the elevator constructor classification cover?
Elevator constructors install and modernize elevators, escalators and moving walks. This classification carries one of the highest rates and one of the highest fringe packages on almost every determination it appears on, and its fringe is often expressed as a percentage rather than a flat hourly amount.

Across the 11 federal-funded determination records WageFinder lists for elevator constructors in Connecticut, total prevailing wage runs from $105.16 to $105.16 per hour, median $105.16. There is no single statewide figure: each county's determination sets its own rate, and the same county can carry different rates for Building, Highway, Heavy and Residential work.
Does the elevator constructor rate include benefits?
The total prevailing wage shown is the base hourly rate plus the fringe benefit rate.
